JustAGamer Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Also this really does nothing. Sure osama is finally dead. Now his successor will probably be the one to plan something even worse against the US in retaliation. Yes, there will be a successor, but Obama, as a founding figure of Al-Queda, and the person who took direct responsibility for the attacks, was extremely important to his people. Think of it as the combined George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Gandhi all being killed. So long as he was alive, they would always have him to rally behind, and would never truly have the fight knocked out of them. I believe that killing Bin Laden won't end the war, but you can't end the war without killing Bin Laden. ??? WOOOWWWW major typo.

Star_Fox Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Also this really does nothing. Sure osama is finally dead. Now his successor will probably be the one to plan something even worse against the US in retaliation. I sadly have to agree with this. Osama dying will probably have minor ramifications to Al-Qaeda butbut the whole foundation will still live on. Its likely that Al-Qaeda planned to have a successor since they acknowledged the fact thatthe U.S. has been searching Osama for so long. As usual, we may never know who the successor might be but in this case, it's betterto assume to worst than to assume that Al-Qaeda is finally over thanks to Osama's death. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das1330 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 One question. Bin laden died this morning. US confirmed this with DNA testing. Doesn't DNA testing take a minimum of 48 hours though? Just asking, i have no clue myself about it, its just something my friend told me. And doing a quick browse most sites i can find say DNA testing takes 5-14 days. Also this really does nothing. Sure osama is finally dead. Now his successor will probably be the one to plan something even worse against the US in retaliation. Depends. For applications where only tiny samples of DNA are available, the PCR does take several days. In cases where access to the body is possible however (like here) DNA tests take a few hours at most (as that's how long it takes the DNA fragments to migrate through the agarose testing gel).

TrueBeaver Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Glad to see him gone, even if it's a symbolic victory more than a tactical.

Tsukaji Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Wow. Osama was finally killed after 10 years. I tought that USA had forgot him since it took so long. I believe there is still that other guy that you have been trying to kill for a long time. If I remember right, he was called Castro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youmu Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Wow, reading some of the responses here... Yes, a guy who has killed thousands of lives is finally done for. Woohoo. But why are we all rejoicing over someone's death? I mean really? I can understand finally catching him and putting him in prison, but rejoicing over someone getting killed? :mellow: Why does the thought of that creep me out a bit...

mcneilp Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Glad they've finally got rid of him but it seems more symbolic than anything else. Osama was the "face" of Al Qaeda, taking him out doesn't change the fact that there are thousands of others just like him still out there, now with another reason to hate the west even more.

Racheya Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'm glad he's dead. I'm not cheering in the streets but I'm glad. I don't understand how some people can be so ultra-sensitive that they're surprised or upset by people's reactions. The mastermind behind 9/11 is DEAD and all people can think is 'waah, death is never good'. Tell that to the victims of 9/11. He plotted the murder of thousands, he deserves death.

Zygimantas Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 So many people are celebrating because 1 man is dead. That just shows how fearful people are... of 1 man.

obfuscator Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I do find myself wondering why it was necessary to kill him. From what it sounds like, he didn't die in combat - they basically just found him and put a bullet in his head, which I'm not okay with (if that's actually what happened).

1_man_army Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 After almost reportedly killing Gaddafi at the weekend and then killing Bin Laden last night, you almost suspect that Obama was determined to outdo the Royal wedding for press coverage lol. On a more serious note though, there will be a kick back from people who buy in to his idealogy, there was a similar outbreak of violence after the leader of Pakistan's Taliban was killed and this is obviously far more significant than that. Unfortunately, his ideology will out live him and people will continue to take up arms based on it however, I hope it hurts Al Qaeda in terms of morale and it hopefully hurts their recruitment efforts. I hope that this, alongside the Arab popular uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria et al will signal a great positive change in the Middle East although I'll hold my breath on that one to be honest. Also, I think it may be important to release images of him (as they did with Uday & Qusay Hussein) to kill off (no pun intended) any potential conspiracy theories that might pop up over this. _____________________________________ I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure. - Mark Twain I love that quote, you can always trust Twain to have a great line for occassions like this.

Sad. i don't know if anyone actually feared osama. it's basically a running joke that he's hiding in a hole somewhere. not exactly scary. it's more of "lol they lost their leader now they're screwed" he's the only recognizable figure of al qaeda and now he's dead. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietrich Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I seem to recall that many Americans were horrified and outraged when people throughout the Middle East started celebrating in the streets after 9/11, and yet I see much the same happening in the US now that bin Laden has been killed. I agree that his death is probably for the best, but the fact that people are hypocritically revelling in it is really quite repulsive. :unsure: Also, the conspiracy theories already cropping up are going to be a headache, I'm sure. Burying him at sea so quickly was a mistake, IMO, even if the US military took some photos and gathered DNA evidence beforehand.
